The Grand Old Duke of Leigh

This week is a rare all-hands episode of Trashfuture featuring Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum). On the docket today: the strange Bond-villain aspirations of Wirecard executives, a discussion of what the UK's covid-related economic stimulus has actually meant for regular people, and a delightful jaunt to the working-class property developer heartlands of Greater Manchester.
